oHILns WAGON v Application filed May 18,

My invention relates to improvements in childrens wagons and the objectoftheinventlon is to so construct the front gear of the wagon as toavoidweakening the front axle without lessening-the rigidity of the gear, andit consists essentially of a centre member forming a sui or post and anaxle having a central portion located out of vertical alignment with thepost, and a clip bracket rigidly connecting the portion 2*. cured in astationaryposition to the wagon body 1 and is provided with acentralorifice 3 4' is an arch brace provided with end portions 4* and 4havingiorifices 5 through which the axle 2 extends in proximity to itsends. 6 is the lower portionof the fifth wheel 03. The portion 6 isrigidly securedto the front hound brace l and is provided with a centralorifice 6* in vertical alignment with the orifice 3*. g i i 7 is anorifice. in the arch support einvertical alignment with the orifices8*.and 6 8 is the king bolt or pin which extends through thebottom ofthe wagon body 1 depending therefrom through theorifices 3*,6? and 7passing downward through a point in alignment with the longitudinalcentre of the axle 2. 9 is a strap bracethe body of'which extends in anin end of the b0 body, the upper end of the strap being bent asindicated at 9 so as'to be secured to such body by a bolt 10. Theopposite or lower end is bent at 11 and i 11 through which also extends,12 is around the offset the lower end of the bolt 8 portion 2 of theaxle 2, the
